Flutter Images and Video Saved using path_provider not showing in Gallery

Question

I want to record a video or audio in my Flutter App and wants it to appear in gallery. How can I do it because path_provider is saving file to safe location and one need a rooted device to access it. I was trying Flutter Camera Plugin Example

Answer 1

The reason I was facing the problem is that the example I was trying uses path_provider function "getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()" to store the files. By replacing above Function with "getExternalStorageDirectory()" I am able to store the file in the external directory and they appear in the Gallery.
